There should be a way to request to link your registry to specific donation groups or add groups that are not listed. Specifically I would I to link our registry to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

We are loving the Newlywed Fund! The site has been easy to use on desktop devices, but is nearly impossible to use when on a mobile device.
I cannot update it from my tablet or phone and we have received feedback from guests that they were unable to give us gifts from mobile devices either. With many people moving away from computers and laptops and toward tablets and phones, please improve the UI to be usable for these users.

It would be quite helpful if I could sort, export, or view as a table all the gifts we've received from in our newlywed fund. Currently they are not sorted in any particular way and so we have to check the whole list multiple times to ensure we've sent thank you notes to everyone. Thanks for helping!

Theres another registry site that allows the couple to not only have funds towards their honeymoon, but other big expensive items like home renovations, downpayment on a house, bigger furniture and the like. My fiancé and I have most of the small items one would request for their home. We would also much rather have money go towards our first home we are buying together for renovations and larger items like table and chairs than towards a honeymoon. I know we can go through the other site, but I would much rather go through the knot for everything instead of having a separate registry list.

1. It's really convoluted as to how to change info that shows up on the wedding website about your registry. I am referring specifically to the Registry Note that appears on the Wedding Website. It would be nice to be able to access that directly from the Registry tab.

2. Something needs to be done about Registry's not partnered with The Knot. I have had several guests tell me they had no idea I was even registered at IKEA because the link is TINY and barely noticeable when next to the logos of the other two places. If nothing else, just make the font size of the link bigger or include a picture of just the store's name in a plain font. I have so much listed there and I would hate for no one to even be able to consider purchasing from them.

Instead of the note listing thats under the box, the bride and groom should be able to add a little note that says if they would like monetary gifts only. Or a box where they can add little message that suggest monetary gifts only with a nice poem, I think that if it was optional where the bride and groom could add a little nice poem or whatever they like to that section it would nice

When you do create your registry page through your wedding website with us, it does give you the option to add your own note (email us at newtools@theknot.com if you need us to show you how).

That being said, the cash registry is something we are building right now. We are hoping to get it into testing in 2016 so we can push it out as soon as possible after the new year (or earlier if possible). Until then, many of our members use other cash registry portals and add them as a manual registry on their registry site. Let us know if you want assistance adding a link that you set up for this purpose.

I think that if you add a registry manually, guests should be able to see all items in their entirety not just the websites that sponsor the knot. I added restoration hardware today and it just shows up at the bottom like the other ones I have. No one looks at these unless they are tech savvy. the ones that are tech savvy cannot afford to buy us a rug on restoration hardware. I would like for a complete list to be added and new items should be at the top. The logos of the places were we are registered that are not showing all items should also be added.

I truly appreciate you sending in this feedback. Right now our partnered retailers do have a contract with The Knot that allows us to show their logo, put their placement above other retailers and link directly to their site items. The manually added registries do not have this connection and yes, it is a bit more daunting for guests to see them as ‘equal’. We continue to work with retailers to ask them to partner with The Knot and we will definitely use this feedback as we continue to offer this to retailers.

If you want all registries to have equal weight, there is a way to unlink everyone and just add the URLs in the registry page. This does not look as clean overall, as there are no logos, but it does put all registries on equal ground. Let us know if you choose to do this (newtools@theknot.com).

XOXO,
Keri

The Charity Program is a wonderful idea. I would love to be able to have my guests donate to the Alzheimer's Association as members of both our families are currently living with it and others have died from it. As millions of Americans are affected by Alzheimer's, I know it might be a charity near and dear to others and greatly benefit from being added to your list

What a wonderful cause indeed! We are reviewing our charity registries this year and hope that by summer we will have a much larger list available for you to choose from. Right now our limited list comes to us from the JustGive.org program and they continue to be a great partner with The Knot.

I get that it might be convenient for Knot users to have their registries automatically added to The Knot, but it would be really nice if it's something where you very visibly opt-in, rather than having it be a default. It feels invasive and, frankly, a bit creepy.

We really thank you for taking the time to send this over. All of our registry partners put this information in a different place to let members know they are going to publicly share your information with The Knot. We are working with each partner to make sure this is clear moving forward. We are also looking at how we can make this more private even when it is shared with us so you, as the member, can opt in when you choose.

Power tools or normal tools at home to be listed in the wedding registry tools. How do you not have any hand or power tools in here? You have 10 different categories for the kitchen. You even have "Kitchen Tools". I realize the person reading this isn't to blame, but this is really really sad. I really hope I missed something, and if I did I hope I get a reply about how awful I am for being so critical.

Your website has been recommended to me by a number of people and I know it is being used in Canada. I don't know what rules and regulations go with this but nothing like the knot exists. I see that some places have registered with your company here but not all. I highly recommend speaking to major companies such as "Hundson's Bay" to build a Canadian connection and registry.

I really appreciate you taking time to leave your feedback. Right now we are still focused in the US, but we are always looking at opening the areas in Canada our brides need the most. I will make sure our team has your feedback as they continue to plan for the future.

On your registry, however, you can still add any retailer to your list even if they are not on our partnered retailer list. Enjoy your planning!

The look of the manually added registry is quite boring. It's just a whit box with text and a button. Can you guys consider allowing us to add a background image or icon for the manual registry additions?

We're sorry that the issues with your Bed Bath & Beyond or buybuy Baby registries are still occurring. As with any partnership, we rely on our retailers to provide adequate details so that our system can display your chosen registry items as expected. Our management team has escalated this issue to executives at BBB, and we have been assured that finding a fix for this issue is a priority for their team as well.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate your continued patience. We have added you to a forum topic about this so that as soon as it is resolved you will be immediately notified.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions or issues.
